MEMO FROM NARA

Money is essential for everybody to buy products and services which are the basic requirements of human beings. Products such as food, medicine, dress, shelter, cosmetics, vehicles and the like have to be produced continuously to meet the demand of all of us. Products produced at different levels need safety standards. Each product we buy and use should be safe and good for human health. Scientific laboratories test the safety of each and every product before put in the market. In fact, we believe in it blindly and buy and use by paying money. Any product produced and not sold for a long time loses its values and should be destroyed. For example, all medicines have ‘expiry date’ beyond which the medicine loses its validity. Thus every product is produced with ultimate care for human and even for animal use. Professionals trained in the production of products are supposed to look after all safety aspects. Thus the products are supposed to look after all safety aspects. Thus the products are believed and bought by people. If any mistake committed knowingly or unknowingly at any stage of the production process, will cause a flutter in the society and the product loses its value in the market. Therefore, products as products nicely packed and kept in super-markets have undergone stringent scrutiny to satisfy the customers.

Services we get like transportation, communication, hotels, restaurants, banks etc. are also essential for all of us. The fast life we live today requires invariably services offered by others at any time and any place what we have to have is money that can buy services. Best services are costly and bad services are cheaper. All types of services are available in the third world. The choice of service is wide to choose in these countries, whereas in the developed and rich countries the choice is much limited. People are happy to get best services all the time. If you think of the services you get every day and list out at the end of the day, you will wonder how many services you require every day. Some of the services may be free and some others are to be paid. To quote an example, a coffee or food prepared by your mother or wife and served at appropriate time is a free service. They take care of the preparation to make a tasty and safe item like a cup of coffee and serve us with love and affection. It is a free service, as long as we realize the significance of such services.

Paid services are also carefully offered. We can call a taxi anywhere at any time. We can call a friend or relative who live in the far off places – anywhere in the world – anytime from anywhere through a mobile phone. We can send messages too. These services work in a wonderful way to all of our surprise. In fact, we need money to make use of these services. There is big competition in providing such services. In transportation, we find a number of companies run airlines, and vehicles. In transportation, we find a number of services to tourists. Think of services, the list goes on and on.

We live in a world of products and services – all paid and some free. So money is the primary requirement to avail products and services. These two items make our life more comfortable and make the world a comfort zone to live in. the big choice in products and services helps us to choose the type we want taking into consideration the amount of money at our disposal. One has to decide what type of product or service one wants. Life goes on with this concept of products and services. Also every one of us is involved in producing products and offering services – free or paid. At the same time we are the consumers of the products and services offered. Indeed an interesting phenomenon of our human society. You may spare sometime during your relaxation to think about the products and services.
